One section in this works critiques the balance of powers by noting that congressmen accrue power as they gain in seniority. This work argues that leaders are conditioned to see war as the only solution to complex problems, but mask that insanity under the guise of superior experience, a concept called (*) "crackpot realism." This work also argues that during the Cold War, America abandoned its isolationism and entered a state of "emergency without a foreseeable end," which led to a "permanent war economy." It criticizes the American public for its complacency in electing Dwight Eisenhower, and it theorizes that the military, political establishment, and business world together form the title group, which has centralized control over the nation. For 10 points, name this sociological work by C. Wright Mills.
